Academic work on honeypots and deception are often kinda disappointing, but this paper by @debi_ashenden and Reeves is worth the skim (especially since it confirms lots of our @ThinkstCanary takes 😉)

tl;dr : Canaries work, Use ‘em.

a16z had a great podcast ep. on the SolarWinds hack (props to @smc90)

a16z.com/2021/01/31/16m…

Quick thoughts on it:

1) It's worth noting that the SolarWinds build environment was compromised months before the effects of it were discovered. (This is painfully consistent)

1/12
2) Instead of the attackers modifying the SolarWinds source code, they modified the build environment to insert their back door. This may be a nod to the classic "Reflections on Trusting Trust" paper¹, but is more likely because it's stealthier.

3) @smc90 mentioned goosebumps a few times at the parallels between the attackers activity and modern dev practices. This is perfectly par. Software -cough- is eating the world and this is just a professional remote software project.
